Spanish Goat's Cheese Croquetas - these are a world away from the frozen potato affairs you find skulking at the bottom of supermarket freezers. You'll find these croquetas gracing some of the best pintxos bars in San Sebastian. These are entirely hand-made not with potato but with a thick bechamel made from the local milk of the region. Hand rolled and coated in breadcrumbs they are made using the best ingredients. In this case using local goat's cheese. Making your own croquetas is great fun but this not only takes out some of the hard labour but ensure your getting the authentic croquetas experience made with top quality Spanish ingredients. They make a perfect tapas or pintxos, just deep fry from frozen in medium hot oil until golden brown on the outside or shallow fry in small batches, turning often, until a lovely, crunchy golden colour for 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Come frozen in trays of 12 croquetas of approx. 50g each. Cook from frozen.

Arrived in a cool box with reusable cold packs (for picnics or lunch boxes, fab idea!) Cook from frozen and ready in about 8/10 mins. Delicious and although the Jamon were out of stock, these made a decent substitute. We also had the Porcini but these were my favourite as the goat cheese was obvious but not overpowering. Held well whilst cooking and a gorgeous crumb. Generous amount in pack, 4 per person worked out a decent tapas/starter. Once these are gone, I'll be back for more!

Not being able to travel san Sebastien for some pintxos, I bought these, the quality is very high, easy to cook in seven minutes, and just the most lovely melted cheese in the middle.

Delicious and went down a treat. Goats cheese flavoured but certainly not overpowering in flavour.
